Close any Microsoft Office programs (e.g. Word) Open the downloaded Zotero file (.exe or.dmg). Microsoft Office 2016 looks for this specific file every time you open the Microsoft Office.

So, simply delete the corrupt file and it will automatically be recreated the next time you start Microsoft Office.
Step 1: Install Zotero
Zotero will run on any operating system. It requires Mozilla Firefox 3.0 or greater. Installation only takes a few seconds.
To install, go to http://www.zotero.org/ and click the red 'Download' button. Click 'Install Now' and follow the instructions.
If you see the message “Firefox prevented this site from asking you to install software on your computer,' click 'Allow'.
Restart Firefox and you're all set! You'll see a small Zotero button at the bottom of your Firefox window.
Zotero, an open source (free) program, may be used in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.Zotero features include: Your Zotero library is save locally so if you want to use multiple computers, set up the Zotero Sync Server and File Syncing on each computer you use to collect citations using Zotero. Before doing that, however, try retarting your computer and reinstalling the Zotero Word plugin and make sure that Word is not open. If that resolves the problem it is easier than reinstalling Word. The good news, if you are a WWU student or faculty member, is that you can download and install an up-to-date copy of Word from your Microsoft 365.
If you have any problems, check the Zotero installation page.

What Zotero Does
Zotero (pronounced 'zoh-TAIR-oh') is a Firefox addon (don't have Firefox? Download Firefox here) that collects, manages, and cites research sources. It's easy to use, lives in your web browser where you do your work, and best of all it's free. Zotero allows you to attach PDFs, notes and images to your citations, organize them into collections for different projects, and create bibliographies using Word or OpenOffice.
Since it's a Firefox plugin, it automatically updates itself periodically to work with new online sources and new bibliographic styles. Pcsx2 download mac os 6.
